THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
The following is 8 synopsis of the re-
port Of the grand jury, that adjourned
yesterday afternoon, to the honorable
District court:
DALLAS, Ten, Nov. 81, 1887.
Hon. G; n Aldredge, Judge OF the Fourteenth
judicial District.
After q long and tedious session, en-
bracing over four weeks, in which time
we have diligently inquired into all Of
lenses committed against the law that
came to our knowledge, and returned
such bills against the offenders as we
believe are guilty, amounting in the
aggregate to over 800.
The report goes on TO state that they
visited the jsil and found the prisoners in
good condition and the jail the same.
They recommended that the prisoners, in
holding their kangaroo courts" among
themselves, be required to be less severe
in the mock punishment inflicted.
They also visited the poor farm and
found twenty-seven prisoners, four of
whom are females, and thirty-two
psupers. The farm contains $40 acres,
240 OF which was in cultivation this
season, on which the following
products were produced: Cotton,
81 bales; wheat, 1000 bushels; oats, 1000
bushels; corn, 35e9 bushels; molasses,
500 gallons; pecans, 80 bushels, also veg
etabies sufficient TO keep up the farm.
There is on the farm mules, % cattle
and IS hogs. Superintendent Burgess is
the right man for the place. Some of the
departments need more furniture.
They examined the affairs of the county
and report them to be in fourishing
condition.
They recommend that the unfinished
rooms in the courthouse be finished.
They also recommend that pool playing
be suppressed, as it is violation of the
law and comes under the gambling act.
The report, which was signed by s..
P. Enmerson, as foreman, closes as fol-
lows:

the witnesses as promptly as possible be-
fore US, except in few instances wheuI
the parties had pressing business in AUS
